My main field of interest is aging research with a focus on rejuvenation strategies. Aging related health decline is the main risk factor to leading world diseases such as cancer, heart failure, Alzheimer, etc. Interventions targeting this biological process have not only accomplished to delay the aging process itself, but to reverse it. Among the latter, the most exciting to me are epigenetic reprogramming, elimination of senescent cells and restoration of young systemic factors. Here are some recent research examples I find fascinating:

My principal long-term career goal is a tenured professor position at a R1 research intensive university. My short and mid terms goals are built around this path; however, I find teaching intensive and research administration positions equally interesting. Nevertheless, the process of taking the right decisions and the journey itself is fulfilling to me, and my main focus. Here is my current general career plan with some ideal examples:

In my free time, I enjoy learning how to develop as a scientist. Top researcher’s advice provides guidance about where to invest our time and the main skills to improve. The principal growth areas I have identified are research skills, career path knowledge, social relationships, productivity pillars and science of science. Here are some resources I like because they produced major changes in my decision taking:

My work emphasis is project contribution. Time management skills allow me to commit long term consistently and reliably; furthermore, strategical planning let me focus early on the right work. I enjoy team work and collaboration, and I am always motivated to learn new skills. Here are some recent projects I have worked on:
